    Default Crappie nibble discussion. Your thoughts?


    I had one of those wierd days were I started nit picking my gear a while back. I have always fished chart crappie nibbles and loved them. I did realize how ever that maybe I'm only taking advantage of scent aspect since I almost always fish a glow chart tube. I have since bought some of the silver sparkel (platnium) nibbles and think it makes more sense by adding contrast and leaves realistic minnow scales in the water. Whatcha think, is it worth consideration? Or just put on a nibble of any color and fish?
    Fish like your hungry!

    I am a believer in nibbles, no particular color, it is the scent that is important. I even dip jigs in menhaden oil all the time (stick cotton up tubes and dip in oil), it makes a big difference to the fish. I would like to try the nibbles with scales in them, just have not seen them on the shelf.

    Default glitter

    I use them sometimes, but not always. I would HIGHLY recommend not rubbing your face while using the glitter nibbles!!!! I believe they help and are worth the time and money to use.

    I tried the nibbles but found I could not keep them on hook very long
    An ungrateful man is like hog under a tree eating acorns, but never looking up to see where they come from!

    A tip posted by someone else on this forum that works well for me is to let them dry some while fishing before hooking. I shake a few out into the lid and fish 'em all day. Plus, in the lid, I can stick the hook in 'em and don't have to dig them out of the jar. I get less glitter all over that way.

    I've seen the day where it didn't seem to matter if you had one on or not and I've seen the day where if you didn't you could forget about getting bit. I fish 'em a lot more than I don't because of that. That's a good way to "toughen" them up a little is to shake some out and let them sit out for a bit, I don't recommend in the direct sunlight though because then they go too far the other way and are hard to get to stay on the hook.
